Even l & rsquo; explosion applicable Johaug, who has relegated to the background that involved Martin Johnsrud Sundby, & egrave; enough to appease the controversy on & rsquo; use of nebulizers for the & rsquo; taking anti-asthmatic by the Norwegian national.

& Ldquo; I take drugs against the & rsquo; asthma, but I've never seen a nebulizer & rdquo ;, said Hellner. & Ldquo; The question that Norway must meet & egrave ;: may be given medicine to healthy athletes? My idea & egrave; that those who are good should not to use & rdquo ;.
In the same vein Olsson's words: & ldquo; I take anti-asthmatics in small doses, if needed to cure a problem. Use inhalers, nebulizers ever & rdquo ;.
The two athletes have tried however to soften the tone of the speech: Hellner said he did not doubt the & rsquo; honesty & agrave; Norwegian colleagues, while Olsson & egrave; said & ldquo; absolutely convinced & rdquo; Therese Johaug that is not intentionally doped.
The head of the medical staff of the Swedish national team, Per Andersson, has to memorize options uproar: & ldquo; I think that & rsquo; use of nebulizers is a practice that belongs to hospitals. It should not be applied regularly in top-level sport. We cure the & rsquo; asthma in another way, I do not think that this treatment should find a place in our team & rdquo ;.
Andersson has also expressed the hope that we can reach an agreement with other countries on the issue of anti-asthmatics: & ldquo; It would be appropriate that different countries were working together and that agreement has been reached on the modalities & agrave; treatment of this disease, taking into account the moral, ethical and medical & rdquo ;.
